Creative cocktails, craft beer, happy hour, pool, and rotating art

























"Ask us where we're going for nightcaps or after-work drinks with friends, and we'll say Blackbird every time. This literary-themed, low-key bar in the Castro isn’t totally overplayed, and is always reliable and fun. They have cool art on the walls, friendly bartenders, a weekday Happy Hour, and tons of room to move about. More importantly, they make excellent cocktails that are best enjoyed at the bar, the tufted banquette, or a table in back." - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
"Blackbird is an awesome, lowkey bar in the Castro that isn’t totally overplayed. They have cool art on the walls, friendly bartenders, and parklet seating. More importantly, they make excellent cocktails that are best enjoyed in the back at one of the small round tables." - lani conway, ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1
"Blackbird in San Francisco is another venue where End of Nowhere wines have landed, signaling acceptance of Walsh’s low-intervention approach in notable Bay Area establishments." - Dianne de Guzman
"Right at the confluence of the Haight, the Mission, and the Castro, Blackbird is within walking distance of a wide range of SF cultures. Here, they converge in dimly lit, Victorian-Gothic ambience. A Rusty Nail with Highland Park 12 Year Old is a fittingly moody drink to sip at this hidden Market Street gem." - Gabriel Schicchi

"After operating for takeout bottles, Blackbird Bar officially reopened for sit-down drinking in a new parklet on April 14." - Becky Duffett
